Local cement and supplies on way to Gaza

Waterford IPSC sent a message of thanks to local builders, Trade Unionists and individuals who donated to the aid flotilla arriving in Gaza this weekend. Tonnes of cement, educational supplies and other humanitarian aid materials were collected locally and are on the Irish vessel in the seven-ship international Freedom Flotilla.

Waterford IPSC spokesperson Tom Curran said today they were hopeful of the aid breaking the embargo but "Reports coming from the Israeli Navy say they will jam the flotilla’s signals and communications, isolating those on board the ships, and barring the world from witnessing what could become a confrontation or prolonged naval stand-off."

“However,he continued the flotilla will non-violently resist Israeli attempts to seize their boats. Thousands of people have contributed to making this flotilla a reality, and the people of Gaza are expecting us."

" This action is not a symbolic gesture but a concrete intervention to allow the people of Gaza to rebuild their lives with dignity’, emphasized passenger, Aengus O’Snodaigh, TD Sinn Féin.

Ewa Jasiewicz who spoke recently at a lively public meeting in the Grenville Hotel added, "We are not breaking the law, we are upholding it. We are acting out of necessity to prevent a greater crime from taking place – the collective punishment of 1.5 million people imprisoned in Gaza. The international community is complicit in this collective punishment and must break its silence. Respect for international law is not optional, it is obligatory.’

The IPSC will hold a day of action next Saturday the 3rd June in the square Waterford .
